TCHTA and the Cultural and Arts Commission are gearing up once again for another exciting Maskanoo, Providenciales’ biggest cultural event.
Maskanoo in its 3rd year, will be held on December 26, 2012 (Boxing Day) from 3:00 p.m., along the Grace Bay road between Salt Mills Plaza and Regent Village. Persons attending the event will enjoy a street parade directed by David Bowen, showcasing locally-made costumes and instruments; island food and entertainment from a line up of local artistes including Q-Band Linx, Five Cays Ripsaw and Rake & Scrape Band and Breeze Beach dancers. Maskanoo raffle tickets will be on sale with amazing prizes to be won including a trip for two to New York on Jetblue.
TCHTA’s Association Executive Stacy Cox noted, “TCHTA is delighted with the response from vendors this year but reminds persons that illegal vending and the selling of masks will not be permitted. The Association will be working closely with the Police Force and Dove Security who will be patrolling the stretch. Persons and businesses are reminded that the selling of masks is not permitted and the Maskanoo name and logo are trademarked and permission must be obtained from the TCHTA should persons wish to sell Maskanoo-branded items (t-shirts, mugs etc). ”
